A couple of Firefox questions, por favor.

1) How do I make it quit trying to finish what I'm typing? (In post subjects, google searches, etc...)

2) How do you like Thunderbird? I usually just go straight to my various email addresses, and have always hated MS Outlook and its various clones. Should I even bother with downloading T-Bird?

Thanks in advance!

1. i use thunderbird

I never used Outlook, because I had aoHell, but when I ditched them-I was not going learn Outlook after avoiding the shit for a year and a half.
There is a place in options somewhere to uncheck autocomplete.

2. Auto-complete

Tools->Options->Privacy->Saved Form Information: Uncheck "Save information I enter in web page forms"

This is either the most annoying thing ever devised or the most convenient. I can't decide which.

4. There's a fix for that somewhere on the Mozilla site.

It's because FF doesn't recognize the newer Flash popups. (coughcoughDUHomepagecough)

My threads there get a much better response than the ones I start here. And you can pick up a lot just lurking.
